Biography

I am a tenure-track associate professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I advise both PhD and MS students in computer science. Prior to that, I was a postdoc researcher with Australian Centre for Robotic Vision at the University of Adelaide. I completed my PhD study at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2016. During the fall of 2013 to the fall of 2015, I was a joint-training PhD student at University of California, Merced. I received bachelor and master degrees from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2008 and 2011 respectively.

I am interested in computer vision problems. Typically, I work on

  • object detection and tracking

  • vision problems for autonomous driving

  • multi-modal understanding (vision and language)

  • image restoration and enhancement

  • image/video generation a.k.a. artificial intelligence generated content
